Clearly you are. Its not just the population its the millions of people who commute in every day. Its the commerce passing through the city. Its the air passengers, rail passengers, port traffic. LA cops deal with at worst a bunch of street gangs. NYC cops deal with international terrorists crashing planes into skyscrapers. The face a constant threat of terrorist attacks. You hit wiki up for a single stat. I have spent extensive time in both cities. LA is not even close to NYC but then no place in the world is.
Serious question. Have you spent any time in NYC. I’m not talking about taking the circle line around the statue of liberty, going to a broadway show and a walk through central park. I’m talking 3 am on a subway in Harlem.
